Linux disk management

Linux disk management directly related to the quality of management performance of the whole system.

Linux disk management commands of three commonly used df, du, and fdisk.

  • df: Lists overall disk usage of the file system
  • du: Check the amount of disk space usage
  • fdisk: for partition

df

df command parameters Function: Check the file system disk space occupancy. You can use this command to obtain the hard drive is taking up much space, how much space is still remaining and other information.

grammar:

df [-ahikHTm] [目录或文件名]

Options and parameters:

  • -a: List all file systems, including the system-specific / proc file system, etc;
  • -k: KBytes capacity to display all file system;
  • -m: MBytes capacity to display all file system;
  • -h: It is easier to read GBytes, MBytes, KBytes own display formats;
  • -H: M = 1000K to replace M = 1024K carry manner;
  • -T: Displays the file system type, together with the name of the partition of the filesystem (such as ext3) are also listed;
  • -i: without hard drive capacity, and to the inode number to display

Example 1

The system will all the file systems listed!

[root@www ~]# df
Filesystem      1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2         9920624   3823112   5585444  41% /
/dev/hdc3         4956316    141376   4559108   4% /home
/dev/hdc1          101086     11126     84741  12% /boot
tmpfs              371332         0    371332   0% /dev/shm

Linux df underneath if not add any options, then the system will default within all (excluding special file systems and swap memory inside) are in 1 Kbytes capacity to be listed!

Example 2

The capacity results are displayed in an easy-capacity format

[root@www ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2             9.5G  3.7G  5.4G  41% /
/dev/hdc3             4.8G  139M  4.4G   4% /home
/dev/hdc1              99M   11M   83M  12% /boot
tmpfs                 363M     0  363M   0% /dev/shm

Example 3

All special file formats and names are listed in the system

[root@www ~]# df -aT
Filesystem    Type 1K-blocks    Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2     ext3   9920624 3823112   5585444  41% /
proc          proc         0       0         0   -  /proc
sysfs        sysfs         0       0         0   -  /sys
devpts      devpts         0       0         0   -  /dev/pts
/dev/hdc3     ext3   4956316  141376   4559108   4% /home
/dev/hdc1     ext3    101086   11126     84741  12% /boot
tmpfs        tmpfs    371332       0    371332   0% /dev/shm
none   binfmt_misc         0       0         0   -  /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc
sunrpc  rpc_pipefs         0       0         0   -  /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs

Example 4

The available disk capacity / etc under the display to readable volume format

[root@www ~]# df -h /etc
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2             9.5G  3.7G  5.4G  41% /

du

inux du command also view the use of space, but with the df command is different Linux du command files and directories using disk space to view, or df command and there are some differences, here Linux du command.

grammar:

du [-ahskm] 文件或目录名称

Options and parameters:

  • -a: lists all files and directories capacity because only the amount of the default file directory under the statistics only.
  • -h: It is easier to read the volume format (G / M) display;
  • -s: Lists the total amount of it, rather than listing each respective directory occupancy capacity;
  • -S: Total does not include subdirectories, and -s bit different.
  • -k: listed in KBytes capacity display;
  • -m: In MBytes listed capacity display;

Example 1

List all the file size of the current directory

[root@www ~]# du
8       ./test4     <==每个目录都会列出来
8       ./test2
....中间省略....
12      ./.gconfd   <==包括隐藏文件的目录
220     .           <==这个目录(.)所占用的总量

No direct input du plus any options, then du analyzes the current directory of files and directories occupied hard disk space.

Example 2

The document also listed capacity

[root@www ~]# du -a
12      ./install.log.syslog   <==有文件的列表了
8       ./.bash_logout
8       ./test4
8       ./test2
....中间省略....
12      ./.gconfd
220     .

Example 3

Check under the root directory of each occupied capacity

[root@www ~]# du -sm /*
7       /bin
6       /boot
.....中间省略....
0       /proc
.....中间省略....
1       /tmp
3859    /usr     <==系统初期最大就是他了啦!
77      /var

The wildcard * to represent each directory.

And df is not the same, du fact, this command directly into the file system to search for all of the file data.


fdisk

fdisk is a Linux disk partition table manipulation tools.

grammar:

fdisk [-l] 装置名称

Options and parameters:

  • -l: All contents of the partition behind the output connected devices. If only fdisk -l, then the system will be able to search the entire system partition to the device are listed.

Example 1

List all partition information

[root@AY120919111755c246621 tmp]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/xvda: 21.5 GB, 21474836480 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2610 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/xvda1   *           1        2550    20480000   83  Linux

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/xvdb2               1        2610    20964793+  83  Linux

Example 2

Find out what your system disk root directory resides, and access to relevant information about the hard disk inside

[root@www ~]# df /            <==注意:重点在找出磁盘文件名而已
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2              9920624   3823168   5585388  41% /

[root@www ~]# fdisk /dev/hdc  <==仔细看,不要加上数字喔!
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 5005.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

Command (m for help):     <==等待你的输入!

After entering m, you will see the introduction of these commands under

Command (m for help): m   <== 输入 m 后,就会看到底下这些命令介绍
Command action
   a   toggle a bootable flag
   b   edit bsd disklabel
   c   toggle the dos compatibility flag
   d   delete a partition            <==删除一个partition
   l   list known partition types
   m   print this menu
   n   add a new partition           <==新增一个partition
   o   create a new empty DOS partition table
   p   print the partition table     <==在屏幕上显示分割表
   q   quit without saving changes   <==不储存离开fdisk程序
   s   create a new empty Sun disklabel
   t   change a partition's system id
   u   change display/entry units
   v   verify the partition table
   w   write table to disk and exit  <==将刚刚的动作写入分割表
   x   extra functionality (experts only)

Press to leave the fdisk q , then all the action will not take effect! Instead, press the w is the meaning of the action to take effect.

Command (m for help): p  <== 这里可以输出目前磁盘的状态

Command (m for help): q

Want to leave without saving it? Press q on the right! Do not press w ah!

Use p to list the current partition table information Fengyun disk, the information in the upper half shows the overall status of the disks.


Disk Format

After the completion of the natural disk partition is formatted to the file system, formatted command is very simple to use mkfs (the make filesystem) command.

grammar:

mkfs [-t 文件系统格式] 装置文件名

Options and parameters:

  • -t: You can access the file system format, such as ext3, ext2, vfat, etc. (support system to take effect)

Example 1

See mkfs supported file formats

[root@www ~]# mkfs[tab][tab]
mkfs         mkfs.cramfs  mkfs.ext2    mkfs.ext3    mkfs.msdos   mkfs.vfat

Press the two [tab], as shown above mkfs will find supported file formats.

Example 2

Partition / dev / hdc6 (you can specify your own partition) formatted as ext3 file system:

[root@www ~]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdc6
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem label=                <==这里指的是分割槽的名称(label)
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)          <==block 的大小配置为 4K 
Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
251392 inodes, 502023 blocks     <==由此配置决定的inode/block数量
25101 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
First data block=0
Maximum filesystem blocks=515899392
16 block groups
32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
15712 inodes per group
Superblock backups stored on blocks:
        32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912

Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done <==有日志记录
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 34 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
# 这样就创建起来我们所需要的 Ext3 文件系统了!简单明了!

Disk Test

fsck (file system check) to check and maintain inconsistent file system.

If the system power failure or disk problems occur, you can use the fsck command to check the file system.

grammar:

fsck [-t 文件系统] [-ACay] 装置名称

Options and parameters:

  • -t: given type of file system, or kernel itself has been defined to support if the / etc / fstab is not required in this parameter plus
  • -s: sequentially one by one to check the fsck command execution
  • -A: To / etc / fstab partitions (partition) to do all the listed checks
  • -C: Display a complete check progress
  • -d: debug print out the results of e2fsck
  • -p: -A condition at the same time there is, there are multiple fsck checks performed together
  • -R: -A Condition when both have omitted / not checked
  • -V: Detailed display mode
  • -a: If the check is wrong automatically repair
  • -r: Check if the answer is wrong by the user repair
  • -y: option specifies the detection of each file is automatically entered yes, the uncertainty that is not normal, they can perform all the checks # fsck -y repair.

Example 1

See how many file system supported by the system fsck command:

[root@www ~]# fsck[tab][tab]
fsck         fsck.cramfs  fsck.ext2    fsck.ext3    fsck.msdos   fsck.vfat

Example 2

Mandatory testing / dev / hdc6 Subdivision:

[root@www ~]# fsck -C -f -t ext3 /dev/hdc6 
fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
e2fsck 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
Pass 2: Checking directory structure
Pass 3: Checking directory connectivity
Pass 4: Checking reference counts
Pass 5: Checking group summary information
vbird_logical: 11/251968 files (9.1% non-contiguous), 36926/1004046 blocks

If you do not add the -f option, since the file system did not have problems, check through a very fast! -f If coupled with mandatory testing process will display one by one.


Disk mount and dismount

Linux disk mounted using the mount command, uninstall using the umount command.

Disk mount syntax:

mount [-t 文件系统] [-L Label名] [-o 额外选项] [-n]  装置文件名  挂载点

Example 1

The default way that will just create / dev / hdc6 mount / mnt / hdc6 above!

[root@www ~]# mkdir /mnt/hdc6
[root@www ~]# mount /dev/hdc6 /mnt/hdc6
[root@www ~]# df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
.....中间省略.....
/dev/hdc6              1976312     42072   1833836   3% /mnt/hdc6

Disk uninstall command umount syntax:

umount [-fn] 装置文件名或挂载点

Options and parameters:

  • -f: Force dismount! Available in the case of a similar network file system (NFS) can not be read to;
  • -n: do not upgrade at / etc / mtab situation dismounted.

Uninstall / dev / hdc6

[root@www ~]# umount /dev/hdc6
